Do the same as in Windows, but without the reboots.;)
Serious, Linux's hardware management is way superior to Windows', provided the hardware is compliant (which is most of it now that ISA PNP is out). Try it, you'll be surprised.
I'd like to add these two suggestions to what the others said:
Never use an acronym ("What does dd stand for?" or "What does the -x switch stand for?") without knowing what it means.
Memory works by making links between concepts. Try to associate as many things as possible to what you're trying to learn, even if it doesn't make sense (you'll then remember that it doesn't make sense, which will make you remember the piece of information that you're trying to remember).
Memory works by repetition. That's the part nobody wants to do, because it's tedious and boring. But what you need to do is not "intensive" repetition (ie. repeating the concept 50 times in a row). What you should do is repeat the concept often. You don't forget the stuff you think about once every day. Just think about it, don't try to memorize it. It'll come by itself. A good trick is to be worried about an exam. This will make you think about stuff very often.
A very easy trick: sleep a lot. Don't study for at least 1 hour before going to bed. Have regular bed/wakeup times. I've often realized that I got good grades when I went to bed early, thinking "Fuck that, I'll never be able to remember that stuff".
If you have friends studying the same stuff, talk with them about it. Ask yourselves test questions. It will make you see concepts from another angle, and will reduce the chances of you studying the wrong stuff.
Let's get real. A subscription that only removes ads will not be interesting to anyone. The kind of subscription that is interesting is subscription that adds content. Take for example The Economist where many of the interesting articles are reserved for subscribed users. I'm sure that they get a lot of subscriptions. But it would be hard for Slashdot to reserve content to registered users (and nobody here would like it). So my point is that Slashdot should add content/services to registered users, not remove it from unregistered users.
How about using another word and lay off the terrorism?
I suggest using the word crime. It could be used in sentences such as:
I infected a computer with a virus and caused near-zero damage, I committed a crime against the computer user.
I drove a plane into a building and killed thousands, I committed a crime against millions.
I installed Windows XP on 1000+ boxed, I committed a crime against humanity (although the usage of "terrorism" could be accepted in a case such as this).
Larry Laffer, that it. Larry 3 had some kind of age verification (because it was such a dirty game!;) ) that involved asking some misc trivia questions. And let me tell you that it kept me out of that game for a long time.
The real problem here is the new attitude of the state: it wants to replace parents. Parents should monitor their children on the net, not the state. Seems like government is mistaken on its role.
That to secure these rights [(Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness)], Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed --Declaration of Independence
I don't see anywhere that one of the responsibilities of government should be parenting.
What history tells us must not be forgotten: proprietary software reduces the amount of flerbage everyone has. You may not understand why when you're sitting on a cloud and thinking, as ESR did, but when you come back to the ground and see the actual effects of proprietary software, you can't argue that proprietary software is good.
It's nice to be able to think, but it's even nicer when you have the experiment's results to prove that you were wrong. And then you know and you can't be wrong anymore, because reality is the only reference.

'dd' stands for "Copy & Convert", but since 'cc' was taken by the C compiler they just incremented the letters.
They dumbed down KDE's code enough for you to hack on it. ;-)
I'd like to add these two suggestions to what the others said:
...they had to go through the code and erase all changelog comments that would infringe on the DMCA.

hmmm... *thinking*
I KNOW! SELL KARMA!

Linux is the world's best operating system.

Huh, I know! Look at the end of the quote.
But feel free to grep the constitution for parenting if you think it might be in there...

So this whole thing in New York wasn't true after all!!! I knew it!
The right URL for FTP mirrors would be http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html.
"At regular intervals I take stuff from the -ac tree and feed it to Linus."
Take that out of context and think about it.

Evil, evil slashdot. The server is almost dead. grrrrrrrrr..... (I'm an LFS developer)
Hubble isn't the most powerful telescope. It's simply above the vision-hindering atmosphere. That's what makes it special and powerful.
